      When you want power that bad there isn't exist such thing as bad/good, sincere/liar anymore... Trump himself is the main exponent of truth/lie. Also, if you get a seat at some of the State Rep. Houses, or even in the Hill, suddenly it is like you've just reachd Level GOD in the Game Of Trolls. The automatically have the I Don't Go to Jail in Poligamy... Eeergh... I mean, Monopoly. This is the game of politics, and since a clown was POTUS now the people of his party, instead of trying to go for the presidency without stole they prefer follow the path that ended with the Orande Clown ruling? The world; First they make a name Brin normal people. When they are known for the people of their County, they pass to step 3; they begin to act like if they would've been possessed by some kind of an alien that, as alien they are, they don't have a clue of how to behave without they have a mental age of 4.

      Making every vote count the same is called “proportional representation”. It’s how voting works in Germany; the system was put in place after World War II to ensure that a dictator could never take power there again. And it worked so well, we here in NZ copied it.
      It does almost inevitably lead to coalition politics: you get a range of political parties in Parliament, none with a clear majority, so they need to figure out how to work together to get things done. But most of us see that as a feature, not a bug.

      The Founding Fathers were some of the most progressive thinkers of their time. They would not be clinging to a 250-year old idea. If they somehow appeared today, they'd want to know where the hell the idea of progress in society went.
      From the Jefferson Memorial in DC:
      "I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind.
      As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times.
      We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."

    The fun thing is that the electoral college was put in place *specifically* so that when the general public, which they didn't hold in very high esteem, voted for an idiot the electoral college would vote for an actually viable candidate instead. It was for the specific case of idiots voting for an idiot that they wanted an extra layer between the vote and the candidate. That's specifically why they aren't required to vote according to what the public votes say. That and due to the slow travel and large distances they foresaw that new facts might be known in Washington that the voters didn't know about when they made their vote, so the electoral college was to take new facts into account and change the votes as they saw fit to avoid a scandalous candidate.
    Over time it's turned into the messy shamble that it is now, where the only purpose of this system is to add extra hoops, to devalue voters in cities over rural voters, and generally just create one of the worst free election systems in the world.
